Applying for a Government Job? My USAJOBS is a Powerful Tool
Today’s Washington Post has some astonishing news: the federal government will need to hire 270,000 people for “mission-critical” jobs over the next three years, according to a study released by the Partnership for Public Service today.
Powerful job search tools await prospective government applicants at USAJOBS, the Office of Personnel Management’s job portal.
In particular, you can create your own resume using an interactive resume builder at My USAJOBS. The tool guides applicants through every step of the process — and creates a resume containing all the information that federal employers need, in an attractive format.
My USAJOBS also allows users to create custom search agents — which will send the user an e-mail every time the criteria in a particular agent is met.
In the future, the site could certainly get more social. Better graphics and possibly YouTube videos could help explain the complex federal hiring process — something that is done adequately on the current site — but could be improved.
To all those applying: good luck with your job search!
